Kind request: Wear your pronoun sticker, folks.

Id like to urge all of my cis friends attending ASA to elect into wearing a pronoun sticker on their badges this year. We know that one way hegemonic gender operates is through “common sense”—don’t reproduce these structures by acting as if your pronouns can be assumed.

You may be clinically insane if that's what you've gotten out of this thread.
Why should 99.7% of the population alter their behavior like this? "Hegemonic gender" implies active domination of gender norms, not passive replication by the positively OVERWHELMING majority of people who are cis. Were being trans more common, I'd be probably be down with this. But that tweet implies that me assuming that my goddamn beard makes it clear what gender I identify as is equivalent to me oppressing trans folk. It is not. I would love for FTM folk to use the men's restroom and MTF folk to use the women's. I would love for everyone to call everyone by their preferred pronouns. But it is pretty f*cking clear that I am a cis man, and the go-to assumption should not be that "they might be trans" when .3% of America is trans.

Further, if the leftists that comprise this field are incredulous at this, how the f*ck do you think the moderate-conservative majority of Americans is going to feel about the country moving in this direction, and people like this dominating the national discussion? It is TRULY why Trump won and why he will win again.

Nothing but truth from E4C1. That’s the ultimate irony here, that these activists don’t realize how much harm they’re doing to their own cause by being so radical and ridiculous about it. That’s sad too
